Is XView available now? If it is, would someone please tell me where can I ftp it? If it is not available, does anyone know when will it be available? On a related topic, can someone tell me where can I get info related to Open Look? Thanks in advance. Marcos ------

> XView is Sun's toolkit for use with View2, their merged Sunview/X11 server. XView is a toolkit, developed by Sun, that has a SunView application programming interface and an Open Look look and feel. It will work with any X server, not just X11/NeWS. > It is not yet available, and will be sold by Sun, I believe. Sun has said several times that they plan to contribute XView to the MIT release. Steve Messina at Sun has asked me to pass on his name to anyone who would like to obtain a beta copy of XView. His phone number is 415-336-2017. > I don't think it will be PD... Not public domain, but publicly available. Just like all of the rest of the software on the MIT tapes.

XView is an almost SunView-compatible toolkit that uses something very similar to the SunView API to implement Open Look window semantics on top of X11. In days past, the XView toolkit was sometimes called View2. View2 is NOT the name of the merged NeWS/X11 server. In fact, I don't think I've ever *heard* an official name applied to it, except for the Open Windows rubric that covers the server, toolkit(s), etc. XView is being donated to MIT for inclusion on the X11R4 tape. It will be freely and publicly available to everyone. No royalties or anything (which is more than you can say for Motif at the moment! A good move by Sun...) Now, just to make sure that I'm not guilty of propagating my own brand of misinformation, will someone from Sun PLEASE repeat the Official Party Line? -- Matt Landau Oblivion gallops closer, mlandau@bbn.com favoring the spur, sparing the rein.

We want to install XView into our Sun stations at Vanderbilt University. Could you please tell us the procedure? Thanks. Mehmed Ozkan Box 6652/B Nashville, TN 37235 615-322-7269 ozkan@vuse.vanderbilt.edu

Does anyone know how I can create a shelltool without leaving room for the @#$&!&# scrollbars? I've tried setting OPENWIN_ADJUST_FOR_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR (whew!) to FALSE, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any clues and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The white space was necessary to keep from growing/shrinking the window when the scrollbar was added back in. If you "pop-up" the floating menu over the shelltool then select the "Enable Scrolling" menu item, you'll see the scrollbar appear. Additionally, if you pop-up the cmdtool's menu you get all the normal text editing features (find, undo, paste, match) within the cmdtool and you can also select "File Editor=>Enable" and insert a text editor in the bottom half of your cmdtool to edit/save/store any files while contining to make use of the scrolling cmdtool. Sorry for the "sales pitch", but If you really hate it and can't make use of the cmdtool features (or shelltool's "white space"), I'd suggest checking out xterm.

Can someone tell me where I can get source and/or documentation for XView? (My first time peering into this newsgroup). All opinions and caveats will be welcomed also. Thanks.

I recently read an XView announcement (obtained via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu) that listed ports in progress. One of the ports was to "IBM RIOS". Does anyone have any information on the status of this port? thanks- Susan Mehringer
